Fri, 12 Nov 2010 12:04:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=25697#comment-91008You make more errors when you get to more plays than other 3B. If you get to a ball another 3B wouldn’t get to and knock it down it’s an E, but if it goes past the 3B for a double you don’t get penalized.

It’s a crazy system, isn’t it?

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:08:50 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=25697#comment-90986A) Beltre earned his contract with Seattle. The standard of offense isn’t terribly high at third base, the man provided stellar defense at the position, and Safeco Field suppresses superficial stats, especially for RH power hitters.

B) Beltre’s splits were pretty neutral this year. Everybody thought he was going to Boston to boost his numbers off the Monster, but he was legitimately awesome everywhere.

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 02:21:03 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=25697#comment-90962As someone who watched 120 Red Sox games this year, I just didn’t see the stellar defense. What did the advanced metrics show? In addition to the 19 errors, he took out two left fielders, essentially ending their seasons. Loved him at the plate, but won’t mind seeing him go as I don’t think 2010 Adrian Beltre will be seen again.

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 00:49:33 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=25697#comment-90949i don’t know if i would call making 19 errors “stellar defense”, but he makes up for it at the plate…the Red Sox should try to re-sign him instead of overpaying somebody else who may or may not be a food fit…Beltre always seemed to come through in the clutch, especially with Youk and DP out…

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 00:08:45 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=25697#comment-90944There are a lot of mystery teams in the mix, but I doubt that the Blue Jays are one of them.

This guy has a history of performing well in his walk year and stumbling after the big contract has been signed.
